Child theme

Since Satu is a parent theme, you'll want to create a child theme if you plan on making any customizations. Don't know how to make a child theme? It's relatively simple. Just follow the below steps.

/**
 * Theme Name: Satu Child
 * Theme URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
 * Description: Describe what your theme should be like.
 * Version: 0.1
 * Author: Your Name
 * Author URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
 * Tags: Add, Whatever, Tags, You, Want
 * Template: satu
 */

From that point, you simply need to start adding your own styles. The parent theme styles will automatically be loaded for you.

Note that child themes are now the officially-supported way of modifying themes in WordPress.
